I just recently installed Procaster, and I go and click "Go Live" but it just shows a black screen when I'm watching my stream on my website! My viewers are complaining alot, and I can't stop it. I don't have a microphone, I have disabled sound. It didn't work. Here are what my options are set to:
I set it to "SCREEN".
I had go live automatically checked.
Add to auto-demand library automatically unchecked.
Add to auto pilot automatically unchecked.
I have a free plan.

I have the same problem with the screen just showing black when I try to do either the 2D mix or the 3D mix. The screen casting and camera modes seem to work fine.

I have searched for some form of documentation other that basic overview documents/videos of how to use ProCaster, there are none. Did this piece of software get released without and real documentation or tutorials?

As well as the results of dxdiag which you can get by following these instructions:
1. press Start (xp: start + run)
2. type in the box dxdiag, press enter
3. in dxdiag, click on Save All Information
4. send us the text file you saved

a. Exit Procaster using the system tray menu
b. in Windows Explorer, go to C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\procaster
c. open mogulus_global.xml
d. change the following values to be
<opengl_resizer>true</opengl_resizer>
<opengl_mipmap>0</opengl_mipmap>
e. open procaster again

Having a black screen is a sign that your random access RAM memory is low. Using Procaster seems to ask for more memory. Close unuse windows and programs to give procaster access to your full memory capacity.

Wrong, I have 3gigs and this still happens and C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\procaster does not exist on my xp machine so whats the deal with this?

Or just do a search for procaster.log. If you can send the log and your computer specs to us at procaster@livestream.com that would be useful. I would also ensure that your video drivers are up to date as upgrading will resolve issues like this in most cases.

Let us know if this works for you.
